Redhat only have one tree of updates for rhel 3.

well in fact 3.4 will actually go to 3/ and we will be moving the old
repos for 3.1 & 3.3 to an old-updates directory that isnt mirrored.
3.1 & 3.3 will become symlinks to 3/ and anyone that updates will get 3.4
centos-release will have version 3/ and epoch 2 to facilitate this
transition.
This is to become dag compatible and to make updates easier.
